The Vivienne Lambeth Wedding Cake London | Lambeth Ruffle Luxury Wedding Cake

Introducing The Vivienne — the most theatrical, bold, and breathtakingly dramatic cake in our entire wedding collection. Named for the queen of British fashion herself, The Vivienne is a cake that refuses to be ignored — a masterclass in maximalist luxury where every technique, every detail, and every surface has been considered with the most extraordinary care and artistry.

Lambeth piping. Wafer paper ruffles. Lattice detailing. Sugar pearls. And a crown of the most gloriously indulgent fresh dark cherries you have ever seen.

This is not a cake for the faint-hearted. This is a cake for the bride who knows exactly who she is — and celebrates that with every magnificent, unapologetic, jaw-dropping tier.

Available exclusively as a two-tier cake, The Vivienne makes the grandest of statements at any wedding or celebration.

Every surface of The Vivienne is a celebration of the cake decorator's art at its most ambitious and accomplished. The generous base tier is finished in smooth ivory buttercream, adorned with hand-piped Lambeth scroll detailing, elegant fleur-de-lis motifs, lustrous sugar pearl accents, and a dramatic skirt of cascading wafer paper ruffles that billow out in voluminous, tissue-fine layers. The upper tier continues the story with intricate hand-piped lattice work, further Lambeth scroll borders, delicate pearl embellishments, and another magnificent wafer paper ruffle skirt — each ruffle layer as exquisitely crafted as the last. The crown is finished with a generous arrangement of plump, jewel-dark fresh cherries — deeply indulgent, wildly glamorous, and utterly, perfectly Vivienne.

Please note that as The Vivienne features fresh cherries, seasonal availability may vary. We will always select the most beautiful, freshest cherries for your cake.

Please note that wedding cake orders require a minimum of 2 weeks' notice. We recommend ordering as early as possible to secure your date, particularly during peak wedding season.

Cake Care

Our cakes never contain any gelatine or preservatives unless stated. As wedding cakes are often on display for several hours before cutting, we recommend the following to keep your cake looking and tasting its best:

• Display your cake in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight at all times
• Where possible, aim to cut the cake within 4 hours of display — particularly important during the summer months
• If displaying during summer, we strongly recommend keeping the cake indoors in an air-conditioned room
• Avoid placing your cake near heat sources, open windows, or in direct sun, as this can cause the buttercream to soften and decorations to shift

Your cake will keep fresh for up to 3 days from delivery when stored correctly.

Your cake will come with our illustrated cake-cutting guide showing you how to cut a tall cake. 

To preserve any leftover cake; place in an airtight container with a slice or 2 of white bread and eat it within a week or 2 - refresh the bread as it dries out. For longer preservation, our cakes can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw out overnight in the fridge and ear within 2-3 days. Don’t forget to place the cake in an airtight container with a slice of white bread. Alternatively, wrap your cake with cling film/foil and place it in the fridge. 

Returns

Our cakes are lovingly baked to order and cannot be returned unless there is a fault with the product. Any concerns must be raised at the point of delivery so our driver can assist. We are unable to accept responsibility for issues reported after delivery. Where a refund is applicable, the full item must be returned as required by law. Please inspect your cake carefully upon receipt to ensure you are completely satisfied.
